Nice thread, JOAT.
In the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" a young man meets regularly with a former
mentor of his who is dying. At one point he asks Morrie whether he misses
being able to do many of the old things. Morrie replies that he doesn't,
because he has done so much and remembers it well. The memories are
important, of course, but the doing of the old things the first time makes
for a rich life.
This is one very big reason why I am a woodworker: the memories have
substance.
